Top Shelf Brisket on a Pellet Grill - Z Grills

Do you always temp the point vs the flat? Ever try the foil boat? I have that new chef pro and my top shelf is definitely hotter than the bottom, but I assume all pellet grills are this way.

Stellar Brisket Johnny!

Awesome. Overnight is my preferred way on my Maverick 1250 and wrapping with the meat/bark down is a good way to soften it as sometimes it’s a bit crispy for my taste when cooked fat down. Last time I did exactly like you with fat up and the bottom sides bark didn’t crisp up much like usual overnight. I’ve tried many variations of the overnight but my preference is 180 overnight and then 225, then 250, and finish at 275 (or some variant of those temps) around noon so it can rest a couple of hours in my oven at 150 and be ready for dinner.

Good looking brisket Johnny. That warming feature on that cooker is a nice touch, wish mine had that feature. Thanks!

Oh man Johnny, that brisket came out looking perfect! And that Z Grills pellet grill did a great job! 😋👍

Nice work Johnny

fantastic cook brother Johnny! nice work! that cooker performed excellent!

Amazing looking brisket.

Very nice. Quick question, I thought you are supposed to monitor the temp on the brisket in the thickest part of the flat? Because most briskets I have cooked the point is done much sooner than the flat.

An amazing looking brisket. Cheers, Johnny! 👍👍✌️

very nice.
a always.

Nice cook Johnny. Hope all is well

Excellent brisket Johnny. Top rack, fat up, is my fav way to rock it too.

Watched this after lunch and I'm hungry again. Very nice results, sir!

Got to be happy with that, it looked A1

That looks BAMMM!!! 💥♨🔥 GR8 Johnny!!! 😋😋😋

You couldn't cook a brisket more perfect than that. Juicy juicy juicy perfection!

Brisket looks great!

That looks absolutely outstanding!

Oh WOW! Great video and that Brisket looks fantastic.

Johnny your z grill looks like it did a fantastic job on this brisket!! Looks so tender and juicy. 🍻

Great looking brisket! I don't know why anyone would not cook a brisket overnight!!! The ZGrills did a great job.

Brilliant sir

You nailed it, bro. Very nice-looking brisket.

So how long did it take ?

As always- great!!

Great Job! New Sub

Bro excellent job explaining step by step every detail.

After wrapping did you place it back in fat side up again?

Love this!! Question is: 705 or 1100?

I don’t really need the 1100 size

🔥🔥

Can't wait to try it. Appreciate the amount of detail you put in the video.

Just got this grill. I've gotten chicken bone-in skin-on thighs done in the learning process, and then some St. Louis ribs with some pork belly "burnt ends", so next I'll do a pork butt before going for the brisket. So far I really like this smoker!!! Rock-solid temperature control, very efficient, built like a rock too. Can't wait, hope I come out with results even close to that, but I'm hopeful!

I just purchased a ZGrill and have been perusing all of the related channels to pick up all the cooking and recipe tips I can. Your video made things look easy to follow. I really like your idea of a backyard trim on a brisket. So many instructions are for competition trims and yours is very simple and easy to understand. I have been grilling for many years (I bought a Traeger in 2009) but have avoided briskets for fear of messing up. I got pork and chicken down so I guess it’s time to go for a brisket. Thanks for the encouragement.
